Cues are very important for any athlete, one particular cue I don’t like in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting is “JUMP”. For athletic performance, it’s a different story, but we’re talking about Olympic Weightlifting, where the focus isn’t on the triple extension, the focus is on correct positioning to lift MAXIMAL weight!
Saturday 8/25/12 Recap | NYC Olympic Weightlifting Gym
Saturday Training went pretty well, Snatches were a bit off so we took it down and focused a TON on positioning. Keep in mind that those little technical errors you get away with, with lighter weights become BIG errors with heavier weight. For those that ignore positions, it WILL catch up to you sooner or later. Train SMART!
